Meliá Olbia Resort & Convention Center

( 4 stars , Olbia , Italy )

Good quality of the room and the restaurant. Good for professional swimmers and tennis players. We were told not to play tennis with non-sports trousers because 'it breaks the image of this resort'. It would have been helpful if we had been informed before about what we need to bring to use what, or they could provide a rental service. There are only a few rooms with the view of the town side.

I was very please to stay at this hotel, the only thing that is unpleasent is the entrance to the hotel from the highway on the opposite direction(GOLFO Aranci) it's very dangerous.

excellent value for money. used the hotel only when coming to sardinia via the Ferry to Olbia and when leaving a week later but could have stayed longer, great place for sports and relaxation. best breakfast ever!

A wonderful hotel with all of the comforts and conveniences of a 5 star hotel! Very friendly and welcoming staff. We had a great dinner in their restaurant. Beautiful ground. Difficult to find at night as it is out of town on the peninsula and not well marked. Look for the flags! Highly recommended. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel itself is beautiful. Very spacious rooms, friendly staff, great amenities, nice pool, well-kept grounds. The only drawback I have is location. The hotel is located in "zona industriale" - no translation necessary. Given the enormous cost, this could be communicated to the client (it isn't anywhere by the way). All the reviews indicate "spectacular views" of the harbour. Well the views are definitely spectacular; you see the harbour and the cruise liners, but you also see in between yourself and the hotel a cement plant and a smoke stack. Apparently, this is one of the cheaper 4star+ hotels on the very pricey Costa Smeralda. There is no reason that this place shouldn't be a 5 star. Everything is great in this hotel. I suppose it is the view that drops it to a 4star+. So if you can stomach your surrondings, then this is the place for you. By the way, a rental car is highly recommended for your stay in Sardinia!

excellent breakfast buffet (included), personal very friendly and excellent service, the a la carte restaurant is also very good, there is no beach - you need a car

Hotel was nice but no shuttle to the airport (taxi was around 25 euros) or to the beach when I stayed (in April). Took the free shuttle into town (which is really just one street)and they forgot to pick us up on the first night. Rooms were very nice and spacious but the complex is so huge it was a bit of a walk to get between rooms and the pool etc. Outdoor was nice butfreezing cold so didn't go in. Indoor pool seemed to be open to the public too. Staff were very nice though. Just beware of the location as the buffet lunch is 26euros each and the nearest restaurant is in town (and there are only 4 shuttles a day, 2 morning and 2 late afternoon).

I was surprised, how beautiful the architecture of the hotel was. Only basement and first floor. Breakfast was really good.

luxurious accommodation in difficult to find location. Still building sports area next door (summer 04), but no interference or noise. Probably because most of Sardegna was closed for Xmas period. Variable level of knowledge of locale from staff, but good English spoken. Excellent swim facilities, probably a bit warmer in the summer!

perfect accomodation if you don't mind to be a little far from the city or from the beach (more or less 10 minutes by car). Wonderful breakfast.
